Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet.

If the rain spoils our picnic, but saves a farmer’s crop, who are we to say it shouldn’t rain?

The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Rain is grace;

rain is the sky descending to the earth;

without rain,

there would be no life.

John Updike

I’ve always found the rain very calming.

Venus Williams

Many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows not that it brings abundance to drive away the hunger.

Saint Basil

The way I see it,

if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.

Other beautiful posts

Ailsa’s travel theme this month was Misty. As mentioned in my lat post the first 6 days of my trip from Hanoi to Vietnam were cold and misty and on other days down-right pouring. Her theme was great for this weeks posting as I spent many of my days on the water in Vietnam. Though not all shots portray misty, after the first 6 days it took me nearly a week to dry out.

The following photos were taken on the water and in the water in places all over Vietnam. The beautiful boat ride part of my tour visited Ha Long Bay in Vietnam which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was amazing. There were thousands of little islands that jutted from the water most of which were not inhabited. At the base of a couple of the bigger islands there were floating villages that housed four fishing villages.

We also visited locations in the Red River Delta, Hoi An, Mai Chau and Bai Tu Long Bay. A very mystical place indeed. I hope you enjoy.
